We're constantly making strides to explore the space around our planet and in our galaxy, but the reality remains that we're not even close to completely knowing Earth itself. Did you know, for ...

Phase change materials (PCMs) represent a pivotal class of substances that store and release thermal energy through reversible transitions between solid and liquid states. Their ability to absorb or ...

Incorporating a phase-change material into concrete, researchers have created a self-heating material that can melt snow and ice for up to 10 hours without using salt or shovels. The novel material ...

Advanced thermal energy storage is playing an increasingly important role in improving the performance and reliability of solar energy systems. In this ...

There’s a patch of concrete on Drexel University’s campus that could portend a frost-free future for sidewalks and highways in the Northeast. Tucked inconspicuously next to a parking lot for the ...
